ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Third parties who believe they are being harmed by activity originating from AWS infrastructure have a specific channel to report abuse, which may be relevant to recipients of spam, targets of cyberattacks, or victims of infringing content hosted on AWS.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The AWS AUP applies to all customers and their end users, establishing categories of prohibited conduct that, if violated, may result in service suspension or termination including without prior notice as the policy states. For businesses running production workloads on AWS, an unexpected suspension could disrupt operations, data access, and downstream services. You can review the full list of prohibited activities at https://aws.amazon.com/aup/ and audit your workloads to confirm they do not fall within any prohibited category.

How other platforms handle this

Apple High

Repeated manipulative or misleading behavior will result in removal from the Apple Developer Program. We work hard to make the App Store a trustworthy ecosystem and expect our developers to follow our guidelines as a matter of professional responsibility to their customers and fellow developers.

Anthropic High

Note: We define a minor or child to be any individual under the age of 18 years old, regardless of jurisdiction. When we detect CSAM (including AI-generated CSAM), or coercion or enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activities, we will report to relevant authorities.

Stability AI Medium

Violation of this Policy may result in the suspension or termination of your access to our Services. We reserve the right to take any action we deem appropriate in response to violations, including reporting to law enforcement authorities.
